I seriously do not understand the "dps tax" idea for dps raises. I thought the weakness debuff and the loss of GCDs was already tax enough.

In reality, dps taxes are far too high as it is right now, and just all over the place. Red Mage has a raise so it's not allowed to be strong? Dancer brings *some* support so it's not supposed to be strong?

Sorry guys, Monk has Mantra so I think we're gonna need to take off 2k dps. Actually, Black Mage also has access to Addle, so it should be atleast 1.5k below Samurai.

It's not even that big of a deal to raise a person as a healer anyway. Just kind of a "oh, that happened. I'll take care of it in a swiftcast." If they truly wanted to make the game work without requiring a meta comp, all the rdps charts should be far, far closer to each other.
